Music expertise has been shown to enhance emotion recognition from speech prosody. Yet, it is currently unclear whether music training enhances the recognition of emotions through other communicative modalities such as vision and whether it enhances the feeling of such emotions. Musicians and nonmusicians were presented with visual, auditory, and audiovisual clips consisting of the biological motion and speech prosody of two agents interacting. Participants judged as quickly as possible whether the expressed emotion was happiness or anger, and subsequently indicated whether they also felt the emotion they had perceived. Measures of accuracy and reaction time were collected from the emotion recognition judgements, while yes/no responses were collected as indication of felt emotions. Musicians were more accurate than nonmusicians at recognizing emotion in the auditory-only condition, but not in the visual-only or audiovisual conditions. Although music training enhanced recognition of emotion through sound, it did not affect the felt emotion. These findings indicate that emotional processing in music and language may use overlapping but also divergent resources, or that some aspects of emotional processing are less responsive to music training than others. Hence music training may be an effective rehabilitative device for interpreting others’ emotion through speech.

音乐能力增强了通过言语韵律从他人的社交互动中感知但没有情感的感觉

音乐专业知识已被证明可以增强语音韵律的情感识别能力。然而，目前尚不清楚音乐训练是否通过其他沟通方式（例如视觉）增强了对情感的认知，以及它是否增强了这种情感的感觉。向音乐家和非音乐家展示了视觉，听觉和视听剪辑，其中包括两个主体相互作用的生物运动和言语韵律。参与者尽快判断所表达的情感是幸福还是愤怒，然后指出他们是否也感受到了自己所感知的情感。从情绪识别判断中收集准确性和反应时间的量度，同时收集是/否反应以表示感觉到的情绪。在仅听觉条件下，而非在仅视觉或视听条件下，音乐家在识别情感方面比非音乐家更准确。尽管音乐训练通过声音增强了对情感的识别，但它并没有影响感觉到的情感。这些发现表明，音乐和语言中的情感处理可能使用重叠的资源，但也可能使用不同的资源，或者情感处理的某些方面对音乐训练的响应性较其他方面低。因此，音乐训练可能是通过语音解释他人情绪的有效康复手段。这些发现表明，音乐和语言中的情感处理可能使用重叠的资源，但也可能使用不同的资源，或者情感处理的某些方面对音乐训练的响应性较其他方面低。因此，音乐训练可能是通过语音解释他人情绪的有效康复手段。这些发现表明，音乐和语言中的情感处理可能使用重叠的资源，但也可能使用不同的资源，或者情感处理的某些方面对音乐训练的响应性较其他方面低。因此，音乐训练可能是通过语音解释他人情绪的有效康复手段。
